That's ridiculous! I don't get tackle football at that age, though.

This is the 2nd straight week this team has come in and steamrolled a team. They are from another town (we live in an small town with several other small towns nearby). The teams are supposed to be chosen at random, but this particular town is known for choosing their A, B, and C teams. They could just as easily play in the bigger cities league, but they use ours as a "confidence booster" for their kids. My daughter is very competitive, and fast, but not good at soccer yet. She couldn't keep up with anyone on that team. After the game, she was so disheartened because she thought she played poorly. It really killed her desire to play next week and in the future. sidenote 2: i should've read more No worries. We played that town's "B-team" today and "won" 2-1. It was a great competitive match, and after the game, all the players talked with each other and were very friendly. I talked with a parent from that team and she said that the team we played last week is well-known for their asshattery.

Because it's not a practice and kids need to learn that winning and losing is part of the game. Sure, but I could also see a string of 10-0 losses killing morale and turning some kids away from the sport This is the 2nd straight week this team has come in and steamrolled a team.

I feel this is beyond "soccer" as a thread and carries over to any youth sports, hence the new thread. In a 1st/2nd grade co-ed instructional soccer league, at what score should the winning team start backing it off? For instance: Team A is up by at least 10-0 at half. They play 4x12 minute quarters. Team A is probably 10:5 boys:girls, and all look to be huge 2nd graders. Team B is 10:5 girls:boys, and almost all 1st graders. Entering the 3rd period, should team A: A) Keep your foot on the throttle B) Ease up a bit C) other

Here's to Fred!

Greetings from beautiful Bloomington, IL !! Fun fact: Bloomington is home to former big leaguer, and best friend of Fred, Old Hoss Radbourn. Go CUBS !!!

I'm really tearing up reading by everyone's stories. I always enjoyed his stats and eternal optimism. I believe he was the last poster here from the last WS title. RIP, Fred.

I saw a report that Connor Barth most likely on his way to Chicago. Great. :banghead:
-
Yeah. So uh do we even have another kicker on the roster? Nope. We will be signing someone off the street and starting them week 1 That's pretty much how Gould got his start, so maybe they're hoping to hit that jackpot again.
-
Yeah. So uh do we even have another kicker on the roster? I think the plan is to bring back Olindo Mare again, though I'd prefer Morten Anderson.

I'm late to this, but Brock Stewart went to my HS, and then to Illinois State.

I shared this in Facebook. First comment: "Yeah, but go back to 2014 and see how much your shitty team drops."

I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
Pushfrog98 replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That was a really good analysis. I always liked DeRo. I wonder how he'd be as a coach? -
So much for being a "ground ball pitcher". Return to sender.

I haven't gotten to go to a lot of Cubs games at Wrigley, since I used to live near St Louis, but is it common to see about half a row at a Cubs v Non-Cardinals game decked out in Cards gear? There were about 8 guys near my section like that and would boo everything the Cubs did. Seems like a recipe for an ass-kicking. At least the entire section of Mariners fans in front of me had reason to be there.

I know a lot of people are/were not fans of Clark the Cub, but my daughter absolutely LOVED getting to meet him tonight. Got a picture with him, his autograph, then "he" tweeted the picture they took. That locked in her Cubs fandom.
-
What a great game to be at. Just got home. Freaking tired, but adelrenaline still going strong.
-
I'm in the upperdeck, 3rd base side. Wood took an interesting route for that ball. We were all going nuts for it.
-
I'm going to the game. When we bought tickets, it was scheduled as a day game with a possibility of being a night game because of ESPN. My daughters bedtime is usually about 8:30, but it's her first trip to Wrigley and she's excited. We're hoping to get her in on the Kids Corral so she can get some autographs. Kinda bummed to not see Hendricks.

Funniest heckles you have heard at baseball games
Pushfrog98 replied to Cubbie Swagger's topic in General Baseball Talk
Not the best heckle I've ever heard, but in context, it was amazing: My wife and I are in Cincy watching a Cubs/Reds game. We were in the 3rd row next to the Cubs dugout. Dempster is the closer and had been struggling mightily. Next to us were a gaggle (I believe that's the right term?) of mid-80's women, all decked out in Cubs gear. The lady next to us was cracking us up the entire game, then when Dempster blew the save and came back to the dugout, she yells, "Oh come on, Dumpster! Yes. I called you Dumpster, because that's where you belong. You throw like sh*t!" Dempster definitely heard it, looked at her, cracked up and yelled back, "Sorry... You're right." -
New Benny, and Other changes (Bulls offseason)
Pushfrog98 replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in Other Sports
So, on to more important issues (and I apologize if this has been mentioned. I'm not sifting through several pages of arguments about nothing): Do we have a new Benny yet? -
New Benny, and Other changes (Bulls offseason)
Pushfrog98 replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in Other Sports
It'd be funny if they unloaded Snell to make it work. Thanks for the ride. We'll find our way back. -
I'm wondering the same thing. The Mets aren't THAT good, that they'd just destroy our pitching like this, are they? Are we tipping pitches? Getting squeezed with the zone?
-
I've been driving, just got to the hotel. When I stopped for gas, we were down 2-0. What happened? Was Hammel just super ineffective, or did the rain play a part in it? 5HR... Sheesh. 2nd Half Hammel is here in record time!
